More automakers are realizing that dogs are family members with Mopar being the latest to offer a lineup of travel- and vehicle-related accessories to ensure four-legged family members can travel safely and in style.
Mopaw from Mopar gives dog owners a slew of merchandise that allows you take your dog wherever you go without the dog hanging its head out the window at 70 mph. Some of the accessories are designed exclusively for Mopar, which means Plum Crazy pet carrier and complimentary Top Banana tumbler and dog bowl finally seem like a reality.
“When it comes to making sure our pets are happy and healthy, Americans don’t cut corners, they treat their pets just like a member of the family,” said Tim Kuniskis, Head of American Brands, SRT Performance, NA Marketing and Retail Strategy.
“Mopaw accessories bring the car enthusiast and the pet lover together in a way that only an OEM can, so you don’t have to sacrifice fit or finish when traveling with your pets.”
The company offers a slew of products that make carrying your dog from place to place easier and safer, and they include:
-
- Pet carrier: Sourced from Nemesys Gear, the pet carrier is designed to integrate seamlessly with a vehicle’s back seat latch system. This secure, comfort‑forward carrier helps reduce pet anxiety while giving owners peace of mind during every ride
- Folding pet kennel: Pets and drivers agree that travel feels safer in an enclosed space. This folding kennel features four tie‑down straps for secure vehicle attachment. It stores flat, assembles quickly and is ready for any four‑legged adventure
- Interior protection options: Sourced from 4Knines, the heavy-duty, functional seat and door covers protect interior surfaces, while hammocks are designed to block the gap between the front and back seats, because every adventure should leave memories, not messes
- YETI buddy tumbler and dog bowl: The buddy tumbler delivers temperature-controlled hydration on the go, pairing perfectly with a durable dog bowl
- Collars and leashes: From driveway to the dog park, a variety of collars and leashes keep every adventure stylish, secure and full of wag
- Dog T-shirts and hoodies: Combining comfort and personality, the shirts and hoodies are designed to keep pets cozy while showcasing their adventurous spirit
Pet lovers looking for Mopaw gear can check out the current collection of products at the online store or head to their nearest Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, or Fiat dealership.
Mopar isn’t alone. Subaru spent the past several years celebrating dogs, including creating a line of travel accessories, donating millions to pet-focused charities, and even creating an advertising campaign, dubbed “Dog Tested. Dog Approved.”
Additionally, Volvo, Toyota, Lexus, Volkswagen, Aston Martin, and even Bentley offer dog-friendly items, such as safety harnesses and tethers, seat and cargo protectors, ramps, and bowls that make it easier to ensure man’s best friend doesn’t miss out on family adventures … or just a quick run for a pup cup.
